“First provider connection” is the first non-revoked provider connection, not a verified provider reply.
“Enquiries per provider” uses Carevo's active provider profiles and service-area listings, not a regulatory register or real-time capacity feed.
“Connection rate” counts distributed enquiries receiving at least one provider connection. It does not mean a provider accepted the person as a client.
Provider acceptance, language-matched availability and the composite score remain withheld.

These local directory links help families continue their search. They are not availability claims or recommendations.

Families never pay Carevo. Providers pay a subscription to connect with families, with no commission or paid ranking. How Carevo works
